Australian companies intending to invest in Malaysia are concerned over the slow Internet speed in the country, says Malaysia-Australia Business Council vice-chairman Michael Halpin.

Speedier Internet access was crucial to large Australian companies which have a lot of big documents to be sent from here to their headquarters in Australia, he said.

" Some of the technical documents can be very very large and quite often we find that the documents take a very long time to get through or don''t get through at all with the slow Internet speed in Malaysia.

" The Internet speed in Australia is much much faster than here. Australian and American investors see this as a nuisance and an impediment to them to do business successfully here," he told reporters after delivering a luncheon talk to Selangor state government officials, representatives from business councils and foreign embassies.


Asked whether the Internet speed in Malaysia was worse than in neighbouring countries, Halpin said: " Not worse off but does Malaysia wants to be at the same level as them?. Malaysia has been ahead as the investment destination choice but the difference between Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam has been diminishing." - Bernama

A new movie footage.

I am posting a footage video of Iron man 2. There are spoilers in it so beware. There are shots of black widow(Scarlett johanson), whiplash(the villain) and war machine (a silver suit of ironman)



This video is named weirdly because the upper people are deleting this footage in youtube. I fu are lucky this might still be on the server for you to watch.

Days goes by and by...

Semester started approx a month ago. Been busy coping with the new classes. Normal usual stuffs when the class started. Futsal with frens.. badminton with fren, pyramid, movie, kim gary, etc etc. Next exam coming as well

Kinda boring post isnt it, been looking my past posts and most of the time i only post when exams are near. That shows how much exams mean to me... LOL.

Nice classic song.



Well basically thats all i guess. Time to check thru the friend list which i have been ignoring it a long long time...

Holiday update

Delayed updates. Will be giving brief descriptions, too long to elaborate. Exams ended around the 2nd week of June. I think I did pretty well in it. Thats all I can remember from it...
______________________________________________________________________________________

Then came Redang Island. Went there to get some peace of mind and clear up some thoughts that have been in mind for quite some time. Enjoy the beach, the scenery, and some eye exercises XDXD.

Nothing much to say about redang also... the fishes were lesser than previous times I went to Redang. The marine park was so empty the day I went. maybe cause its not a school holiday season. However although we were the few ones there, the fishes was quite scarce.

The last day we took the bus from KT to Kuantan, and from there we booked a flight to fly back to Subang through "Firefly airlines".And due to the bus came late at KT, we missed the flight... So we had to take the morning bus the next day instead.


~There is a better group picture where all of us are in there. But lazy to find it. XD

Started Oxford Brookes University (OBU) degree too. Have to type a 6500 word thesis and research on a company. Another spoiler of holidays. And since this is my very first thesis I am doing, I am doing it with insecurities and uncertainties... ><. So far so good I guess..

ACCA students (me) are able to register for OBU during their course. Its a "sun lou" (on the way) course. What benefits it gives? It will improve the portfolio in the future. Just giving brief description of OBU as a lot of people ask me whether I changed my course or not when "I say I am doing OBU degree now".
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Holidays is ending though and a more challenging semester is going to start... Will be taking 2 papers next semester and looking forward for the "no classes on tuesdays and fridays" being sufficient to cope the semester.

"Dead Like Me"

Dead Like Me is an American television comedy-drama starring Ellen Muth and Mandy Patinkin as grim reapers who live and work in Seattle, Washington. Filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, the show was created by Bryan Fuller for the Showtime network, where it ran for two seasons in 2003 and 2004 before cancellation. Fuller left the show five episodes into the first season due to creative differences; creative direction of Dead Like Me was then taken over by executive producers John Masius and Stephen Godchaux. A direct-to-DVD movie entitled Dead Like Me: Life After Death was released on February 17, 2009 with an option to restart the series.

In my opinion this series is quite good and funny as well. IF this series gets restarted then its great for me that is, till you got interested with it too.

Below is a clip of the series:

Well back to studies

Amazing G-Race & Comic blog

Manage to create the comic blog which i have mentioned in my previous post.

Check it out.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

Finals are around the corner. Studies have been doing well lately. I must be impressed of myself.

There was an event called Amazing G-race( parody of Amazing Race) held in Sunway University College on the 25th April 2009. Decided to attend it to exercise and sweat out after 2 weeks of mind cramping with information and knowledge.

Edited: ( malasnya... lol )
There were a few challenges that the Sunway Student Council organized for this event.

First challenge was finding alphabets throughout the entire campus. Spent some time searching for this as some groups that reached the alphabets first decided to prevent other groups from getting the alphabets therefore throw the alphabets or tear it up.

Second challenge was at the "Elephant Walk"( a large place for people to do morning walk i guess...) Some number challenge. My group and Zi Wen's group cooperated to complete it. We were one of the early group that complete the challenge quickly. Not too bad. "I think that we are all very smart", that's what we thought when we happily get the next clue.

Third challenge


I forgotten what are the buildings but we went to Sunway Pyramid. We asked the information counter whether they have seen any college students with the Amazing G-race tag ( big green cardboard around the necks given by the Student Council ). State got see them in pyramid around the J-Co donuts. WE checked the map directory of Sunway Pyramid. We went to the nearest key shop at the South area of Sunway Pyramid.

In the end, we met one of the Student Council member at Starbucks. Then he told us that is not in Pyramid yet and that's when we found out we interpreted the 3rd clue wrongly...

SO in the end the 3rd clue was to a place called SouthQUAY and it is pronounced as South"Key".

An illustration of where SouthQuay was:


Man that was one hell of a run. I think we wasted about an hour plus due to this misinterpretation. During the red line ( the run towards SouthQuay ) it was one of the most demoralizing run I ever ran in my life. Is like... just give up... just run back to college and take a good rest... WE even met other groups who had to suffer a 10 minutes penalty for not being able to solve the 2nd challenge during the "red line".

Fourth challenge:
A field some where in the housing areas along the red line from the above illustration.

Fifth challenge:
In front of 7eleven which is outside of pyramid. (basically we took one big round)

Sixth challenge:
All done in Sunway pyramid. Not much there. But one challenge was that we are suppose to sing this commercial


Seventh challenge:
Back in college. Nothing much here to talk about.

Conclusion: Don't be too overconfident or proud of what you have achieve. LOL.
